GOODBYE
(C.B. Sager / N.M. Walden / D. Gibson)

Darlin’
I was hoping that we could pretend
and make believe that we
could still live happily
and start again

Seems like you and I
we’ve been caught up in your world of lies
I kept believing you
could start anew
and be a friend

Well, I’ve got something I wanted to tell you
and it’s the last thing I thought I could say
but I think I must go there anyway

Goodbye
How do you say goodbye
Do I just look you in the eye
shake your hand, wish you well
after all this time
I never wanted for goodbye

Don’t let go
I was devoted to your heart and soul
and then we took a turn
and I had to learn
what I tried not to know

Seems like yesterday
I’d give the world just to hear you say
a simple whisper of a word or two
like I love you
It breaks my heart to see it end this way

Goodbye
How do you say goodbye
Do I just look you in the eye
shake your hand, wish you well
after all this time, all this time
I never wanted for goodbye

Can it ever be the same
Goodbye
Did we lose more than we gained
There’s nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
baby, I feel it inside
as my heart cries out your name

Goodbye, goodbye
How do you say goodbye, goodbye, oh baby
Do I just look you in the eye
shake your hand, wish you well
after all this time
I never wanted for goodbye

Darlin’
I was hoping that we could pretend
Goodbye
